Installing JBoss on Linux

  • Install JBoss EAP 7.3.0 as a ZIP or Installer installation

  • Change JVM memory allocation pool parameters in the following file

    <JBOSS_HOME>\bin\standalone.conf.bat

    to

    "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:MetaspaceSize=256M - XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m"

  • Administrator privileges on the server.

  • Customize the start-up options in the jboss-eap.conf file. The startup script and an associated configuration file are located in the EAP_HOME/bin/init.d/ directory. Open jboss-eap.conf in a text editor and set the options for your JBoss EAP installation. There are several options in jboss-eap.conf file, but at the minimum you must provide the correct values for JBOSS_HOME and the JBOSS_USER (System user)

    You can customize the other options provided in the configuration file by uncommenting and editing the respective lines. If you do not, the service defaults to starting a standalone JBoss EAP server using the default configuration file, standalone.xml
